Electric reform shock wave, breaking regional barriers is the next focus of electric reform.
The implementation of the power reform has been nearly two years. The reporter learned that market-oriented transactions still face regional barriers and local protection, and the formation of regional power markets is still difficult. To this end, breaking inter-provincial barriers and expanding the scale of market-oriented transactions will be the focus of the next step in electricity reform, the medium-and long-term cooperation mechanism for inter-provincial transactions, the contract mechanism for hydropower priority power generation rights, inter-provincial wind and fire, light and fire, water and fire power generation rights transactions are brewing.
On March 15, 2015, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the "Several Opinions on Further Deepening the Reform of the Electric Power System", which was hailed as the "reform of hard bones" officially kicked off. One of the tasks is to establish a relatively independent power trading organization. Form a fair and standardized market trading platform.
As the first state-level power trading institution, Beijing Electric Power Trading Center is mainly responsible for the construction and operation of cross-regional and cross-provincial power markets. It released its first "Annual Report" on February 24: Since its establishment in March last year, it has completed inter-provincial transactions of 779.4 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, which is 8 times the electricity consumption of the whole society in Beijing in 2016, accounting for the sales of electricity in the operating area of the State Grid Corporation. 21.2 percent. Among them, through market-based pricing of trading electricity reached 198.8 billion kWh.
"Actively carry out clean energy market-oriented transactions, and promote clean energy and energy conservation and emission reduction." Hu Weidong, deputy director of the Beijing Electric Power Trading Center, said that in the past year, the amount of clean energy traded in inter-provincial transactions reached 371.6 billion kWh, accounting for 48% of the inter-provincial trading electricity, which is equivalent to the total social electricity consumption of Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Chongqing in 2016.
While achieving significant social benefits, the center's inter-provincial transactions have also achieved good economic benefits. The direct inter-provincial power transactions have been completed with 37.2 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, saving users 2.8 billion yuan in electricity purchase costs, which is equivalent to a reduction of 7 cents per kilowatt-hour. many money.
"The next step will continue to increase the scale of market-oriented trading organizations, and strive to trade electricity exceeded 1 trillion kilowatt hours." Beijing power trading center trading director Zhou Lin revealed. However, she said frankly that under the background of overall oversupply, the current inter-provincial power flow is facing greater difficulties, and the first to bear the brunt is the inter-provincial barriers. In the past, there was a shortage of electricity in the central and eastern regions, so electricity from outside the province was very welcome. However, with the increase of local power generation capacity and the decline of social electricity consumption, some provinces have issued policies to restrict the purchase of electricity and prices across provinces, some of which are relatively strict.
The national authorities have taken note of this problem. Lian Weiliang, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, talked about the deep-seated contradictions and problems in the power system reform at the recent power system reform meeting. First of all, market-oriented transactions face regional barriers and local protection, and the formation of regional power markets is still difficult. Second, market-based pricing faces administrative intervention. The number of illegal construction of special power supply lines has increased significantly, and the order of market competition needs to be standardized. In addition, the problem of renewable energy consumption is prominent, the scale of self-owned power plants in some areas has increased, and industry management is not standardized.
According to reports, the focus of the next step is to break down inter-provincial barriers, expand the scale of market-oriented transactions, improve the power trading and market pricing mechanism in accordance with the spirit and requirements of supply-side structural reforms, and insist on using reform methods to solve the problems in the reform. Greater breakthroughs have been made in the implementation of key tasks such as the reform of transmission and distribution prices, the liberalization of power generation and use plans, the cultivation of market entities, and the standardized operation of trading institutions.
"We will continue to urge the liberalization of power users and other home entities, such as power users, to actively promote the establishment and improvement of the market mechanism, so that the invisible hand of the market can play a role. In addition, we are planning to establish a medium-and long-term cooperation mechanism for inter-provincial transactions." Zhou Lin revealed that in combination with the consumption of clean energy, the National Development and Reform Commission is focusing on establishing a contract mechanism for hydropower priority power generation rights. The Beijing Trading Center is also planning inter-provincial power generation rights transactions for wind, fire, and water and fire, and establishing a reasonable compensation mechanism.
An Hongguang, deputy secretary-general of the China Electricity Council, also said earlier that this year will strengthen the guidance and supervision of provincial power market transactions. It is suggested that the relevant departments should strengthen guidance and supervision in the aspects of market access rules, market trading rules, clean energy consumption, transmission and distribution price verification, timely correct unreasonable policies with local protection color, maintain market order, and ensure the effective promotion of power market reform.
